Place & story
Two parts of the parish’s education
In Killaconnigan parish within Lune, Samuel Lewis recorded about 150 children attending a school supported by the Earl of Darnley in 1837. Three private schools together taught approximately the same number. His account also noted the mixed parish landscape: roughly a quarter was bog, much of it planted by the late earl, while most of the remaining ground was tilled. A limestone quarry and a corn mill at Inchmore added other kinds of work. [2]
